your ac fan motor may have gone out, mine did and my car wanted to die everytime the ac was on at idle. just check out all of your ac componets, and if all else fails take it out i did... I Love TEXAS SUMMERS !!!

my car idles real low like 5-600 and i have no problems, even with a descently sized system??

i thought that was normal, but ac may have something to do with it, so wouldnt hurt to check out those components

your car is idling too low so when the ac is on at idle or you crank the wheel the added resistance is killing it. turn your idle up just a tad.

Mine too. Everything is normal and works at it's best. Just low idle.

Got one question (not trying to jack the thread). When I turn my idle screw to make the idle go up, it doesn't do anything? Is that my TPS. If I turn the idle up and down it does nothing. Right now it should be pretty high, but when I touch on the gas it will go down, stay at 900rpm for a sec. then fall back to 500-600rpm. What's wrong?
